Abstract

Two flexible plates arranged in serial in flow interact with each other by the flow field. In this chapter, two tandem filaments are placed in a flowing soap film to investigate the interaction between them. The common tandem structures and the physical problem involved in the interaction in them are introduced first. Then the experimental study using filaments and soap film to investigate the interaction between the flexible filaments and flow is discussed. The experimental data is fitted for the calculation on the force and energies. The calculation results are given at last.
